In professional sports, when it comes to apparel, it’s not just about functionality, looks are incredibly important as well. The uniform creates an identity.
The epitome of uniform identification is the Dallas Cowboys.
With that symbolic star on their helmet.
In college football, the Oregon Ducks often lead the way on the field in terms of winning games along with winning recruits with their incredible often changing apparel.
On December 1, 2023, the informative team at collegefootballnetwork.com sheds some light, “When the Oregon Ducks face the Washington Huskies for the Pac-12 title on Friday, they will wear a different look. The Ducks will take to the field in Las Vegas with their 13th different uniform combination of the 2023 season.”
Nothing like variety. The youngsters really love that.
In the professional female MMA world, we sense function supersedes style but some of the girls lead the way in terms of apparel and gaining attention, especially during weigh ins, before the cameras.
All said and done, life is about balance.
If you are an apparel company that wants to be a trendsetter and change merchant, like the mighty Ducks, variety is the spice of life.
One company that is gaining attention in creating wonderful variety in female fight apparel is aptly named “Takedown”.
At their home takedownshop.com they provide you with great choices and options, “Customize and build your own singlet with the new Takedown 360’ Customizer. Build your own uniforms and apparel with personalized colors, team logo, mascots and more. Your gear, your way from sport to street and everywhere in between.”
Your gear, your way. We love that.
Apparently so does the emerging PFL.
Innovation meets creativity.
Sounds like a great match.
